To me, this movie is perfection.

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

After watching this it was hard to believe that this ACTUALLY happened. This was in the United States! With today's current political and racial climate it seems like all the old problems are as big as ever. Sooner or later something has to give.National Geographic never seems to dissapoint in their movies. I enjoyed watching this, it was quickly paced and very informative. As someone who grew up and watched this happening on TV it didn't bother me how it was all shot and seemed to be view on a VCR.Would totally recommend this movie for anyone who loves National Geographic or wants to learn more about the LA riots.

Simply using existing footage and avoiding any talking heads, this weaves a tale of how an incident incited violence in a community, what happened, and how nothing was really changed. I can't praise this enough for just letting images tell the story, never getting heavy handed with "experts." SEE THIS.

It's honestly quite frightening when history repeats itself like this. I didn't even know about the Watts riots that happened in the 60s, and hearing that at the start of the documentary really puts the whole thing into perspective. Social issues like this come and go in cycles, from the 60s, to the 90s, to right now, and "LA 92" does a great job of showing that. It uses pure archive footage, there's no narrator trying to sell an agenda here, it's purely to inform the viewer. If you've read any other reviews I've done on issues like this, then you know that I stay out of politics for a reason. Because in my mind, there are 2 sides to every issue, I'm not condoning what those officers did to Rodney King, but for whatever reason, they were acquitted. It's not my place to say whether or not they should've been convicted, because it's 25 years later. What's done is done in that regard. But when you see civilization committing suicide through looting and rioting and arson, it doesn't serve any point, other than to unintentionally support a stereotype. I wouldn't call this a pleasant watch, but it's very informative. I don't know what solution if any can be done about the trust issues between people of color and law enforcement, but this does a good job of showing the divide, and maybe inspiring others to think of solutions.

Wow, raw unseen footage of one of the most captivating and horrific situation in cultural America. Racism in our country is one of the worst problems we have, and this is the quintessential example of what it can cause people to do who feel oppressed. It's sickening, and it has to stop, yet it never will. If I could say what I wanted to about the LAPD this review wouldn't be posted because every other word would start with F. And then, because of this, OJ got away with murder! Good job LAPD!
